      I got a question. I’ve only read the overview of the film but from what I got, is Charlie really in the right here. Yes, the teacher bribed him but if the students do the prank then why stay silent? Even though technically the prank was wrong, I’d get it if they were mates but, from this scene, it doesn’t look like. What’s really the point of it realistically speaking?
